SKCW1 SK-01 Manpur Junction to Nayabazaar SK-02 Nayabazaar to Namchi by the R&B Department, Sikkim under MDONER with assistance from ADB Loan No.2770-IND SOCIAL MONITORING REPORT 1. Introduction 1. The Government of India with the financial assistance from the Asian Development Bank has undertaken the project “Widening, Improvement and upgrading of road section from Melli(km 17.1) to Nayabazar (SK-01) & Nayabazar to Namchi (SK02) in South Sikkim under North Eastern States Roads Investment Program,Tranche-1 vide Loan No.2770-IND. 2. This will lead to easy accessibility of the local people to essential socio-economic and health care services such as education, administrative services and trade centres enhancing quality of life of local people. The project is also to address the institutional capacity building of road sector at the state level to ensure effective and efficient management of the road assets. 3. This report covers a period from January, 2018 to June, 2018. 2. Background of the Project Road 4. The State roads in Sikkim have deteriorated over the years due to heavy rains and floods in some areas, failure of sub-grade and sub-base courses under increasing Traffic load and paucity of maintenance funds and resources for the timely and adequate maintenance of such roads. Development in the State is, therefore, hindered by the low quality of existing transport infrastructure, unreliable services, and largely hilly and rolling terrain besides excessive rainfall and floods in the area resulting in damages to the existing roads. 3. Brief description of Sub-Project Roads 3.1 Sub-Project Road -Melli to Nayabazaar (SK-01) 5. The project road starts from Manpur (Km 17.1) and traverses through hilly terrain throughout and passes through Majitar, Bhari Khola, Chirbiray ,16th Mile and Jorethang villages. This section is an existing state highway measuring 9.500 km in length located at Sikkim, South District. The topography of the project area is hilly. It passes entirely through hillock on one side and river valley (perennial river Rangit) on other side. The land use is completely forest type. It is situated within the Reserved Forest area of Sikkim South Forest Division. The existing condition of the road is motorable with average carriageway width of 4.000 m to 5.000 m. The project area is a high rainfall zone. The soil is poor and unstable which leads to frequent landslides and soil erosion mainly in rainy season. There are no historical places in the project area; however, one temple exists near to existing carriageway. There is no major settlement in between the project road. (Melli is the only town at the start of the project road. There is no encroachment on the road and available ROW is 27 ft either side of the centre of the road and the works shall be carried out only within the available ROW. There has been a change in alignment due to the shifting of bridge located at Bhandi Khola ( Km 21+ 680). The bridge is being shifted to Km 21+369 for improving the geometrics of the stretch. There will no resettlement impact since the stretch falls under the Forest area. Page 4 of 29 Widening and Strengthening of Melli – Namchi in South Sikkim.

The project road starts from Akkar bridge junction at Nayabazar and traverses through hilly terrain throughout and passes through Karfectar, Chisopani, Nandugaon, 9th Mile, 12th mile villages. This section is also an existing state highway measuring 19.700 km in length located at Sikkim, South District. The topography of the project area is hilly and passes though the mostly private lands as well as some reserve forest area of the South Sikkim Forest Division. The existing road has single lane carriageway with average carriageway width of 4.000 m to 5.000 m and formation width of 5.000 m to 6.000 m. The road passes mostly through hilly terrain (about 98 % road length) with moderate to sharp curves. The road has bituminous surface with good riding condition. The earthen shoulders are deteriorated and hill-side drains are damaged. The existing traffic is moderate and likely to go up in near future. There is no major settlement in between the project road. Jorethang (Nayabazar) is the only town at the start of the project road and Namchi at end of project road. There is no encroachment on the road and available ROW is 27 ft either side of the centre of the road and the works shall be carried out only within the available ROW. Therefore no households are affected by the project. Figure 1 show the location map of the subproject roads. Both road sections are proposed for improvement and up gradation to intermediate lane configuration (5.500 m carriageway) with side drains on hill side.

The project road was initially constructed during the era when Sikkim was a Kingdom. Later, ROW was demarcated as 27 feet on either side of the road from the centre of the road. The PIU decided to carry out the widening works within the available ROW. However, during the public hearing conducted at Nandu Gaon, the public stated that though the ROW area for the stretch Nayabazar to Namchi was under the ownership of the Government, they have not been compensated for the land on either side of the road till ROW boundary.

  • Chapter 8 Sikkim
    Chapter 8 Sikkim AC Sinha Sikkim, an Indian State on the Eastern Himalayan ranges, is counted among states with Buddhist followers, which had strong cultural ties with the Tibetan region of the Peoples’ Republic of China. Because of its past feudal history, it was one of the three ‘States’ along with Nepal and Bhutan which were known as ‘the Himalayan Kingdoms’ till 1975, the year of its merger with the Indian Union. It is a small state with 2, 818 sq. m. (7, 096 sq. km.) between 27 deg. 4’ North to 28 deg 7’ North latitude between 80 deg. East 4’ and 88deg. 58’ East longitude. This 113 kilometre long and 64 kilometre wide undulating topography is located above 300 to 7,00 metres above sea level. Its known earliest settlers, the Lepchas, termed it as Neliang, the country of the caverns that gave them shelter. Bhotias, the Tibetan migrants, called it lho’mon, ‘the land of the southern (Himalayan) slop’. As rice plays important part in Buddhist rituals in Tibet, which they used to procure from India, they began calling it ‘Denjong’ (the valley of rice). Folk traditions inform us that it was also the land of mythical ‘Kiratas’ of Indian classics. The people of Kirati origin (Lepcha, Limbu, Rai and possibly Magar) used to marry among themselves in the hoary past. As the saying goes, a newly wedded Limbu bride on her arrival to her groom’s newly constructed house, exclaimed, “Su-khim” -- the new house. This word not only got currency, but also got anglicized into Sikkim (Basnet 1974).

  • THE ANGLO-SIKKIM WAR of 1861 International Insti
    BULLETIN OF TIBETOLOGY 31 “A DIFFICULT COUNTRY, A HOSTILE CHIEF, AND A STILL MORE HOSTILE MINISTER”: THE ANGLO-SIKKIM WAR OF 1861 ALEX MCKAY International Institute for Asian Studies INTRODUCTION Many gaps in our knowledge of 19th century Sikkimese history have recently been filled in.1 This paper attempts to add another piece to the jigsaw by examining the previously neglected history of the events of 1860-61, when British forces marched into Sikkim. The royal archives Saul Mullard has been cataloguing are silent on this period except for a Tibetan language copy of the eventual Treaty, and the History of Sikkim’s account is superficial. 2 This paper consequently relies primarily on the records of the British imperial government, which do, however, enable us to gain some insights into Sikkimese perspectives. BACKGROUND Following their victory in the 1815 Anglo-Nepal war, in which the Sikkimese had assisted them, the British returned to Sikkim territory I would like to dedicate this paper to my friends and colleagues, the late Yap Tashi Tobden and Khendzong Yapla (Tsering Wangchuk), tragically killed soon after the NIT Golden Jubilee conference in Gangtok in 2008. The loss of the two local figures perhaps most concerned with the Sikkimese Bhutia history is a major one. 1 See in particular the articles by John Bray, Tirtha Misra, Pema Wangchuk, and Alex McKay in Buddhist Himalaya, the Proceedings of the Namgyal Institute of Tibetology Golden Jubilee Conference, edited by Alex McKay and Anna Balikci- Denjongpa; Gangtok, 2011. 2 Personal communication, Saul Mullard (to whom my thanks are due for organising this panel at the IATS seminar in Vancouver 2010).

  • A Short Biography of Four Tibetan Lamas and Their Activities in Sikkim
    BULLETIN OF TIBETOLOGY 49 A SHORT BIOGRAPHY OF FOUR TIBETAN LAMAS AND THEIR ACTIVITIES IN SIKKIM TSULTSEM GYATSO ACHARYA Namgyal Institute of Tibetology Summarised English translation by Saul Mullard and Tsewang Paljor Translators’ note It is hoped that this summarised translation of Lama Tsultsem’s biography will shed some light on the lives and activities of some of the Tibetan lamas who resided or continue to reside in Sikkim. This summary is not a direct translation of the original but rather an interpretation aimed at providing the student, who cannot read Tibetan, with an insight into the lives of a few inspirational lamas who dedicated themselves to various activities of the Dharma both in Sikkim and around the world. For the benefit of the reader, we have been compelled to present this work in a clear and straightforward manner; thus we have excluded many literary techniques and expressions which are commonly found in Tibetan but do not translate easily into the English language. We apologize for this and hope the reader will understand that this is not an ‘academic’ translation, but rather a ‘representation’ of the Tibetan original which is to be published at a later date. It should be noted that some of the footnotes in this piece have been added by the translators in order to clarify certain issues and aspects of the text and are not always a rendition of the footnotes in the original text 1. As this English summary will be mainly read by those who are unfamiliar with the Tibetan language, we have refrained from using transliteration systems (Wylie) for the spelling of personal names, except in translated footnotes that refer to recent works in Tibetan and in the bibliography.
